Step 1
A voucher can usually be obtained no earlier than 60 days before the election. In addition to those voters who are outside the country or region on election day, those who are in a hospital or in a temporary detention center can also receive absentee ballots. In addition, those servicemen who are outside the place of their permanent service vote on such coupons.
Step 2
In order to obtain an absentee certificate, you need to apply with a written application to your precinct election commission at your place of residence. A representative can also do this for you, who must have a notarized power of attorney. In addition to a notary, the power of attorney must be certified by the administration of the medical institution or place of detention.
Step 3
In your application, you must indicate the reason why you cannot be present at the polling station. In the case when a voter is in custody, he writes an application either with his own hand, or the application form is filled in for him by the administration of the institution in which he is located. In the latter case, the voter only signs the application and sets the date for the signature.
Step 4
The absentee certificate must contain all your data - last name, first name and patronymic, the number of the polling station. Also, the stamp of the territorial election commission and the signature of the member of the commission must be affixed to the form of the coupon.
Step 5
To vote with an absentee certificate, you will need to present it at a polling station on election day. You must be included in the voter list. If there is a tear-off coupon on the certificate, then it will be withdrawn and canceled. In case of loss, the certificate will not be issued again.
